Never rock the boat and I find that the sailing's always smooth From the outside things seem perfect but the inside could improve I make myself the only captain so the rules are always clear With no one else allowed on board, well then I always get to steer But my life is worthless here though ship and cargo are all mine 'Cause an empty life of luxury is still an empty life Though this is what the world calls living beneath these sails it's such a lie If I'm to ever taste real life You make it clear first I must die The choice to end my life is made and I'll not change my mind The time has come to walk the plank and leave this would behind Step out by faith and die to self is all that You ask me to do This bloodstained plank's the only bridge between my soul and You And God…You and I so far apart This cruel cross makes such a narrow bridge between our hearts Over the side, self crucified With d**h in mind I walk the plank to save my life Like, a canyon my sin separates me from the life You give Nothing I can do alone can cause this empty heart to live On this side amidst my treasure I'm the king but still so lost My soul starving for the peace that would be mine if I could cross But despite my sin You love me and that love has made a way To escape this sinking ship if I'll just trust You and obey Over the cross on which You died for me, the plank's on which you bled All the joy of life freely received once my old life is dead The choice to end my life is made and I'll not change my mind The time has come to walk the plank and leave this would behind Step out by faith and die to self is all that You ask me to do This bloodstained plank's the only bridge between my soul and You And God…You and I so far apart This cruel cross makes such a narrow bridge between our hearts Over the side, self crucified With d**h in mind I walk the plank to save my life
